Death in Love is occasionally pretentious but always riveting.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Fresh

Yakin and his cast are up to the job, but the current they tap into is so charged it proves overpowering. Still, their bravery is commendable.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Rotten

There's something seriously wrong when you assemble actors this good -- and can't believe a single stilted word coming out of their mouths.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

How do you explain a movie as hermetic and perverse and ultimately repugnant as Death in Love?

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten

It's not as if we learn anything or feel any insight or catharsis from watching his characters destroy themselves and others.

Christy Lemire, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
